A REVETMENT FOR PROTECTING THE INCLINED SURFACES OF BEACHES,SHORES,RIVERS OR CHANNELS,AND OF STRUCTURES SUCH AS MOLES,DIKES OR CHANNEL WALLS,LOCATED IN THESE PLACES,AGAINST EROSION BY WAVES AND FLOWING WATER

摘要

A revetment protecting coasts and structures thereon against erosion from waves and flowing water. The revetement comprises a plurality of heavy and thick plate bodies (1a - 1d) located side by side and directly on the inclined surfaces of the coast. Each plate body comprises at a first pair of opposite ends hinge pins (1", 1"") for a flexible securing of the plate body (1d) to the adjacent plate body (1c). Furthermore, the plate body comprises a plurality of substantially vertical water penetration holes (4", 4"") as well as two hinge openings (2", 2"") located at a second pair of opposite ends of said body. The hinge openings are shaped in such a manner that they beyond penetration of water also may receive pins (1", 1"") of the adjacent plate bodies (1a). In this manner a revetment is obtained which is water-permeable, coherent, appropriately heavy and flexible, and which furthermore in an easy manner may be mounted by unskilled persons.
